The hoisting-rope is passed between the rollers, so that when power is applied thereto the parts are guided into and held in their proper position. ,The shoe (1 is preferably provided with suitable seats d", adapted to receive the rollers I when a load is being hoisted. From the rollers I the ho1stingrope passes over the guide-sheave I, which is mounted on a suitable journal I", carried b the bracket J. in the lifting of a load tli e reciprocating frame D is forced down- -wardly against the tension of the springs D".

Owing to the toggle relation of the supports E and F of the clutch blocks or members, the hoisting-rope H has an unrestricted forward movement, but is locked against backward movement so long as the earner is carrying a sufficient load to overcome the tension of the springs D, the clutch parts being shown in their engaging position in Fi 1 ol' the drawin 8. These springs are 0 sufficient strengt to carry the parts in their unloaded ing members and frees the ro e, so that it may be passed freel in either .irection.

I have illustrator my improved carrier in comiectionwith a pair of running-blocks K. K,

\ to which the loadsecurin'g ropes K are shown attached. It is evident that the o eration of the clutch proper would be t some with a single running-l l ck or if the rape was attaclmd dirt-U to the load.

' llv arranging the'purt l have illustrated and described I secure a clutch device which mrmits perfect freedom of movement of the hoisting-rope and. at the same time automatically looks it, so'that the load may be stop ed at any point during its elevation,

vil l iile l have espociallv'adaptcd the locking features to a cal-rim for use as a hay-can rim or the like, it is evident {hat they are applicable for in Otlll'lfiln tions.

My improved carrier is comparatively s'11n (t ee Figs. 1 and This rocking ple in structure, and at the samo'bime it is very effective. The parts are arranged so that the strain thereon is reduced to a minimum- While I have illustrated the same in the form preferred by me, I am aware that the structure may be considerably-varied in details without departing from my invention, and I desire to be understood as claiming the same broadly, as well as specifically, as illustrated.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
